Why Boys Should Not Be Snubbed.

Don't snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
inventor of the telephone, first enter
ed Boston he wore pair of yellow
linen breeches in the depth of win
ter.
Don't snub boy because his home
is plain and unpretending. Abra.
ham Lincolu's early home was log
cabin.
DON'T snub boy because of the ig-
norance of his parents. Shakespeare
the worlds poet, was the son of a
man who was unable to write his own
hamp.
Don't snub boy because he chous-
es an humble trade. The author of
the "Pilgrim's Progress" was a tink.
er.
Don't snub boy hecause of physi-
cal disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub a boy because of dull
ness IN his lessons. Hogarth, the cell
ebrated painter and engraver, was q
stupid boy at his books.
Don't snub boy because he slut
ters. Demosthenes. the great orator
of Greece, overcame harsh and
stammering voice.
Don't snub anyone. Not alone be.

cause it is neither kind, nor right.

tins idea, which@has survived from
the earliest times 10 the present, came
the heliefthat the proximity of AN

custom of swearing on the. Bibless
The various customs of taking oathss
in different countries, have all alsitn-
iiar origin. The early Anglo Saxons
laid the hands on Il piitssasf Store,
because stones were regarded as sa-

times it was customary to touch
relic, and this was regarded as giving
the oath more sacredness even than
when taken upon the Missal, or pray

dy, the Mis'al was placed upon a
chest which. when afterward opened,
was seen to be filed with the bones
of the saints. 1t is a curious proof of
the superstition Ofthe times, this idea
that an adjurati0n to the Almighty
was made more solemn by the pres
ence of nuckle-bone, a jaw, or u
d0uhle-tOOth, of dead man. An
other custom of medieval times was
swearing by churches. A certain
number were mentioned, and the at
testor was obliged to 60 to each one,
taking the ring of the church door in
his hand and repeat his oath. From
very early times the Russian custom
has heen to kiss the cross to attest an
oath, and the practice has extended
into other countries. This was the
oath of the Knight TempIar and
other similar bodies. and the laws of
the Order of the Garter in Henry
Vlll's time, required the knights
to touch the book and kiss the cross.
A common attestatiOn of the oath in
Germany in the middle ages and
later, was by the bosom, placing the
hand thereon. This came from the
practice of wearing ii crucitix or am.

Pacific Railway BONDS.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secton S of the
act passed at the last session of Congress,
authorizing an investigation of the methods
of accounts employed by the bonded Pacific
railroad companies, provided that the sink
ing funds already invested in U. S. bonds
might be invested in fret mortgage bonds
of the companies. The Union and Central
Pacific companies recently applied TO the
Treasury Department for such investment.
The question was referred to Attorney Gen.
eral Garland, ard he has given an opinion
that the Secretary of the Treasury is not
authorized to sell the U. S. bonds in which
the funds are now invested for the purpose
Of reinyestment in first mortgage bonds OF
the companies; but that he can invest any
money paid into the sinking funds, in pur-
susncs Of the Thurman act, now in the
Treasury uninvested, or which may in fu-
ture be paid in, in any U. 8. bonds or in any
first mortgage bonds ofthe Union or Central
Pacific companies.

Especial Correspondence of the Alexa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 6, 1887:
Major Thomas Moore, of Fairfax G. H.,
was among the Virginians here to day. In
reference to the county republican ticket
nominated in his county last Monday, as
printed in the GAZETTE Of that day, he says
that while it has some strong names on it,
it is SO weighted down with weak ones, that
it's defeat is generally anticipated, and that
many republicans even think its chances of
success are slim. Col. John Powell, of the
same county, in talking about the same
tickst. said if the republicans had to go out
of their own county for candidate for
Commonwealth Attorney, he couldn't see
why they didn't nominate Mr.. Burke, CT

Among the recent removals in the pen

will not, be filled by Virginia democrats, Is
unknown, but there is no doubt that strong
